Marmadat Bani Salama is a
Neolithic
village , in which its inhabitants built their muddy huts along the two sides of a strait main road . This village is considered the first backbone structure of a village and it refers to the existence of an authority that had been organizing the village and had been responsible for applying certain laws inside it .
The Village's pottery was distinguished by being black and tough . Its shapes were simple and it had protrusion around the edge to be used as handles or just for decoration .
The Marmada people built two kinds of houses: muddy huts for winter and narrow oval holes rooted in the land , and made of ditch reeds for hot days in summer . They knew cultivation and planted grains . They also raised sheep , goats , pigs and dogs . In addition , they used flint scythes in cutting wheat and flint knives , axes , arrows , spears and gimlets in fighting . Moreover , flax was woven in order to be used in making linen clothes .
Luxury was the main concern of the people of this culture . Their women wore necklaces , earrings and rings . However , art was not glorious in this culture and in fact ,
there is no artistic monuments to prove otherwise , except for a female statue made of pottery .
As to their dead bodies , they buried them between houses , not in separate graves . The grave was a simple oval hole . The dead person was buried in fetus position directed to the south .
